Tokyo, JAPAN, 6 November 2023

Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu LLC (Located in Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Koichi Okubo), a company of Deloitte Tohmatsu Group, announced today a reorganization plan within the Deloitte Tohmatsu Group, effective December 1, 2023.

Some teams and functions within Risk Advisory which currently belong to Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu LLC will be transferred to Deloitte Tohmatsu Risk Advisory Co., Ltd. After revising capital relationships among the entities, Deloitte Tohmatsu Risk Advisory Co., Ltd., which is scheduled to become a limited liability company effective December 4, 2023, will no longer be directly owned by Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu LLC and will become a peer company within Deloitte Tohmatsu Group (please refer to Diagram 1 for the organization chart).

With the aim of accelerating the growth of Risk Advisory business and diversifying its offerings, after careful consideration on how the audit entity carries out social responsibility in executing high quality audit and assurance services in accordance with the Certified Public Accountants Act, Deloitte Tohmatsu determined that Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu LLC should focus only on audit and assurance as well as its related services. 

Even after the reorganization, Deloitte Tohmatsu Risk Advisory Co., Ltd. (scheduled to become a limited liability company) continues to support audit and assurance services offered by Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu LLC, working closely with other Deloitte Tohmatsu Group entities including Deloitte Tohmatsu Consulting LLC, Deloitte Tohmatsu Financial Advisory LLC, Deloitte Tohmatsu Tax Co., and other entities. The reorganization will not impact audit and assurance services offered by Deloitte Tohmatsu Group.

In addition, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu LLC will further strengthen its organizational foundation to allow certified accountants and other professionals to continue to offer high quality audit services in a sustainable manner, committed to contributing to the sound and healthy development of capital markets as they strive to meet what is expected of them from economic society.

The reorganization is limited to businesses within Deloitte Tohmatsu Group, hence will not entail separation of non-audit businesses from the Group. Deloitte Tohmatsu Group has five businesses, including Audit & Assurance, Risk Advisory, Consulting, Financial Advisory and Tax & Legal, pursuing a multi-disciplinary model in which professionals of all businesses collaborate closely with each other to provide more value added services.
